Subject: My turnaround show

This is the one that got me officially "on the bus". Although I had been going to concerts since '73 and always loved their music I had never traveled outside of Santa Barbara or Ventura to see my favorite band perform live. A friend encouraged me to go to this show and it kicked ass as you can hear and from then on I never missed a show outside of California except for one in Eugene. Nice job Mark, you done good.

Subject: Nice encore!

Great to see an encore that wasn't Dayjob during this period. I remember going to the 11/1/05 Richmond show where they did Gloria, She Belongs to Me and other great tunes, just to be followed by a Dayjob encore.

I remember laughing when they started it and walking out so I wouldn't ruin my experience that night! Kind of like having great sex and than when your done the girl tells you she has herpes!! Doooohhhh!!!

Subject: Loud balloon pop

that pop is not a balloon.It is a firecracker(m80)That went off by my friends foot.I was taping in the taping section and Skip and Robert were up front.I could hear it from the tapers section no problem.
